The Alavesa Treasury has returned 181 million euros in its income campaign
A total of 200,457 declarations have been made, 3% more than in the previous year, which is "a symptom of the smooth running of the Alavese economy", according to Finance Member Itziar Gonzalo.
The Departmentof Finance of the Provincial Council of Álava has returned 181 million euros to taxpayers as part of the 2024 income campaign. This year, a total of 200,457 declarations have been submitted by Alavese citizens, 3% more than in the previous year.
Finance MP Itziar Gonzalo reports on the balance sheet of the latest income campaign. She believes that the increase in the number of statements is "a symptom of the good performance of the Alavese economy."
The Treasury has made 68 per cent of the total declarations, 138,085. Another 44,873 have been made in the offices of Vitoria, Llodio and Laguardia, and 93,212 have been sent to taxpayers through the Rentafacil portal.
Of the total, 138,728 declarations have been returned, with the Treasury having to return an average of EUR 181.7 million, EUR 1,309.8 per taxpayer.
On the other hand, there have been 51,828 declarations and, in this campaign, the Treasury has received EUR 109.8 million , an average of EUR 2,119.3 per taxpayer.
So, in total, has returned 71.9 million more than the Alavesa Treasury has collected.
The Member of the Exchequer has pointed out that in the statements submitted, net income from work has increased by 5.86%, 'as a result of the good performance of the labour market and the fall in unemployment in Álava by 2024', and that the savings base has increased by 27.6% due to the increase in interest rates and the increase in dividends.
On the other hand, the deduction for rental housing increases by 7.2 per cent and the deduction for investment in regular housing by 1.9 per cent.
Gonzalo has highlighted the positive impact on taxpayers, such as the 2.5 deflation in the general tariff and the reduction of EUR 200 for incomes below EUR 30 000.
He has also stressed that normality has been the dominant pattern throughout the campaign. He explains that the extension of the date of submission of declarations was due to the high demand for appointments and the fact that the number of declarations was higher than expected.
